Sofitel Athens Airport

Sofitel Athens Airport

5/5 Excellent
"Convenience, convenience, convenience. Arrived into the airport at midnight after 14 hour flight time and 4 hour transit time. After getting our luggage’s, ten minutes later, we were in our clean and spacious room getting ready to shower. The location is what attracted us. But the service and the maintenance of the rooms and facility is what will keep us coming back next time we are transiting through Athens. "
